Thousands of Belgian Farmers Join Protest Against Globalist Reset Plans

Last summer, thousands of Dutch farmers protested new Nitrogen rules that will force approx. 30% of Dutch cattle farms out of business, according to government estimates. Farming unions contend that the planned cuts place a heavier burden on agriculture than industry.

On Friday, 2,700 tractors brought traffic in Brussels, Belgium to a standstill as thousands of Belgian farmers joined the protest against the nitrogen emissions limits.

Farmers blocked traffic on a main road in the center of Brussels causing major traffic disruption and gridlock.

Politico reports, “It’s an economic and social catastrophe,” said Nele Kempeneers, a spokesperson for Belgian farmers’ association Boerenbond, one of the unions that organized the protest. “A lot of farms will have to limit the amount of animals that they keep, or simply close down.”

Fox News reports:

Hundreds of tractors driven by angry farmers protesting a plan to cut nitrate levels converged on Brussels on Friday, creating major traffic disruption in Belgium’s capital city.

The BB farmers union and several others combined efforts to gather more than 2,700 farm vehicles, according to Brussels police.

Several major roads in Brussels were closed and police warned that disruptions could last until the end of the day, recommending that people use public transportation instead of personal cars.

The Flemish regional government is struggling to find a deal to cut nitrate pollution over farmers’ objections that it would put many out of business.

Farmers also claim that their trade has to make much deeper cuts than industry and want to see a more equitable spread. Negotiations have lingered for weeks and weakened the regional government of northern Belgium to breaking point.

The debate over agricultural pollution is increasingly turning into a political issue in many of the EU’s farming nations. It is to be a focal point of Dutch elections in two weeks’ time and is also affecting Belgium, another EU nation where intensive farming has put environmentalists against the agricultural lobby.

North Korea asks UN to rein in US actions

Pyongyang wants the global body to halt joint US-South Korea military drills, which have gone ahead despite the DPRK’s warnings

North Korea has appealed to the United Nations to exert its influence on the US and South Korea to prevent them from holding joint military exercises on the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang has warned that the two countries’ actions have made the situation in the region “extremely dangerous.”

Kim Son Gyong, a top official in the DPRK’s Foreign Ministry, called on the UN and the international community to “strongly urge the US and South Korea to immediately halt their provocative remarks and joint military exercises” in a statement published on Sunday by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

On Friday, Seoul and Washington announced plans for more than 10 days of large-scale military drills, involving amphibious landings as well as American B-1B strategic bombers. The exercises will run from March 13 to March 23 and will be the largest joint drills in at least five years and their longest on record.

The North Korean Foreign Ministry official characterized them as a “military demonstration against the DPRK.”

Kim decried what he described as the UN’s silence with respect to Washington’s and Seoul’s “irresponsible” behavior in the region. The North Korean official also suggested that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres may have double standards when it comes to military actions in the region. According to the diplomat, while Guterres “kept mum” in the face of the “US and South Korea’s dreadful military provocation,” he was quick to denounce Pyongyang.

He argued that the UN would have to change tack if it is interested in “promoting the sustainable detente on the Korean Peninsula and in the region.” He went on to warn that the US-South Korean war games, if they continue unchecked, were likely to bring about a “very critical and uncontrollable phase.”

Speaking to reporters in Seoul on Friday, US Forces Korea spokesman Colonel Isaac Taylor announced plans to hold two concurrent joint drills, named Freedom Shield and Warrior Shield. The military official said the war games are intended to improve the US and South Korea’s response capabilities toward North Korean “aggression” and would incorporate “lessons learned from recent wars and conflicts.”

Washington and Seoul went ahead with the plans despite North Korea previously warning that such maneuvers could be construed as a “declaration of war” and lead to “unprecedentedly persistent and strong counteractions.”

The two Koreas have technically been at war for over seven decades, with the 1950-1953 conflict ending in an armistice. After several years of relative quiet, North Korea carried out a record number of missile launches in 2022, resuming weapons tests following a self-imposed moratorium agreed during negotiations with then-US President Donald Trump in 2018.

The UK Lockdown Files: Text Messages Reveal How Top British Health Officials Conspired to “Scare the Pants Off Everyone” and Asking “When Do We Deploy the New Variant?”

The British Telegraph has obtained 100.000 text messages from former UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock, showing how the British government conspired to “frighten the pants off everyone” and asking “when do we deploy the new variant?”

The Telegraph received the WhatsApp messages from journalist Isabel Oakeshott, who wrote a book with Hancock called “The Pandemic Diaries”. They show former Health Secretary Matt Hancock discussing with his media advised Damon Poole on Dec. 13, 2020, who warned that Tory MPs were “furious already about the prospect” of stricter lockdown measures over Christmas and suggested “rather than doing too much forward signalling we can roll pitch with the new strain.”

“We frighten the pants off everyone with the new strain,” Hancock wrote back.

“Yep that’s what will get proper bahviour [sic] change,” Poole replied.

“When do we deploy the new variant?” Hancock asked.

“Been thinking about this and think we need to be more cautious. The strain that is,” Poole wrote back. “Think you made the point earlier, but we need to keep schools off paperwork / agenda.” The Christmas lockdown 2020 was surprisingly announced Dec. 19.

In Jan. 2021, Hancock was discussing further measures with Cabinet Secretary Simon Case, including “more mask wearing … in all settings outside home”. Case wrote that “the fear/guilt factor” is “vital” in getting more lockdown compliance.

“Basically, we need to get compliance up,” Case wrote, but said some measures – like a ban on fishing – “will be parodied galore if it looks like we have suddenly decided fishing is the first step towards tier 5!”

“I honestly wouldn’t move on any small things unless we move on a lot. The only big reamaining [sic] things are nurseries and workplaces,” Hancock wrote.

“I agree – I think that is exactly right. Small stuff looks ridiculous. Ramping up messaging – the fear/guilt factor vital”, Case replied.

In June 2021, Hancock had to step down as Health Secretary after photos emerged showing he had violated social distancing rule to pursue an extramarital affair with UK Department of Health employee Gina Coladangelo, who was earning £15,000 a month. Hancock and Coladangelo were both married at the time and have since left their families.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson had to resign Sept. 6, 2022, over the so-called Partygate affair, after his employees held parties at 10 Downing Street as the country was ordered into complete lockdown.

Brazil greenlights GMO wheat

Argentina’s Bioceres has claimed Brasilia has approved its HB4 wheat strain for cultivation

Brazil's National Biosafety Commission has approved the cultivation, production and marketing of HB4 wheat, a drought-resistant genetically modified strain manufactured by Argentinian agribusiness firm Bioceres, the company and industry groups announced this week.

In a statement on Friday, Bioceres praised Brazil's CTNBio for “opening the Brazilian market to the technology.” The strain allegedly improves yields by 43% in so-called targeted environments.

While several countries already accept imports of the drought-resistant wheat, Brazil is only the second to allow the modified strain’s cultivation. Concerns about potential long-term issues with a crop that is the staple food for so much of the world have led most nations to hold off on tweaking its genetic code. Back in 2021, Brazil approved imports of flour made with GMO wheat, becoming the only country to do so at the time.

Despite skepticism toward the crop, industry players appear to be warming to the concept of GMOs, based on public opinion. While Abimapi, a trade association representing bakers, pasta makers, and other grain-product manufacturers in Brazil, initially opposed GMO wheat, it flip-flopped recently after commissioning a public opinion poll in which 70% of Brazilians said they would not mind consuming food containing genetically modified wheat.

Brazil's flour millers' industry group, Abitrigo, said that the approval brought “peace of mind to different market actors” but the “final word will rest with consumers.”

There is no indication that Brazil plans to immediately start growing GMO wheat, which has yet to pass many regulatory hurdles, but the company hopes interest in the GMO product will increase markedly following Brasilia’s vote of confidence. A relatively small player globally, Brazil and its neighbor Argentina produce the lion’s share of South American wheat, and despite a drought are projected to reap over 20 million tonnes this season.

Nearly A Ton Of Cocaine Washes Up On French Beach

Maritime police in northwest France found nearly a ton of cocaine washed up on a beach on the English Channel on Feb. 26.

The drugs were found near the town of Reville on the Cotentin Peninsula, according to France’s maritime authority for the English Channel and North Sea.

The cocaine, weighing about 1,875 pounds (850 kilograms) in total, was found in two large packages linked by a rope, the authorities said on Feb. 28.

Police are trying to determine whether the drugs fell from a ship or were intentionally floated to the shore for traffickers to pick up.

Another report by AFP citing unnamed sources said more drugs were found washed up on the northern French coast on March 1.

Drug Smuggling Surge

There has been a surge in cocaine and crack smuggling into Europe, accompanied by unprecedented drug violence in some areas.

The North Sea port cities of Antwerp in Belgium and Rotterdam in the Netherlands have become the main gateway for Latin American cocaine cartels into Europe.

On Feb. 14, two Dutchmen, aged 27 and 46, were arrested by Belgian police, and almost 8,818 pounds (4,000 kilograms) of cocaine were seized.

Police found an address in a navigation app used by the two men. That address led police to a hangar with a container filled with 68 bags of cocaine.

Police also arrested seven other men found in the hangar.

LGBT groups angry that Staten Island St. Patrick's Day Parade organizers will not allow them to march under their own banner during the parade

LGBT individuals who wish to celebrate their identity have, at this juncture, dozens (if not hundreds) of events every year in New York City designed for that purpose. However, the Staten Island St. Patricks' Day Parade will once again not allow LGBT pride groups to march in the parade unde LGBT banners, and pride groups in New York are furious.

New York City's Democratic Mayor Eric Adams has announced that he will boycott the parade in protest, and instead will visit the Rainbow Run — one of the aforementioned dozens of LGBT pride events that is running at literally the same time as the planned St. Patrick's Day Parade — before attending a St. Patrick's Day Parade in Queens.

Carol Bullock, executive director of the Pride Center of Staten Island, claims that when the group attempted to submit an application, the situation turned confrontational. She claims that when a photographer from a local publication attempted to photograph the group submitting their application, the event's organizer Larry Cummins physically pushed the photographer aside. Cummins did not respond to a request for comment from WCBS-TV.

In response, Jody's Club Forest, which has hosted an annual local politician breakfast for three decades, has canceled its participation in the event. Owner Terence Haggerty told WCBS, "It's always been about the parade and now it's not about the parade." In a statement released last month, organizers of the breakfast said they were canceling it "in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ groups excluded by the parade’s organizers.

An estimated 2 million people each year attend one of the various St. Patrick's Day parades in New York City.

New Study Shows K-12 Schools Effectively Indoctrinating Students into Radical and Political Gender Ideology and Critical Race Theory

A Manhattan Institute study confirms CRT and Gender Ideology are rife in all 50 states

Last month, the Manhattan Institute released a groundbreaking new study, titled “School Choice Is Not Enough: The Impact of Critical Social Justice Ideology in American Education.”

The study presents survey results of a representative sample of over 1,500 Americans aged 18-20. Their primary finding was that "Ninety-three percent of American 18- to 20-year-olds said that they had heard about at least one of eight [Critical Social Justice] concepts from a teacher or other adult at school, including 'white privilege,' 'systemic racism,' 'patriarchy,' or the idea that gender is a choice unrelated to biological sex.'" Also included on the list of Critical Social Justice (CSJ) concepts are the ideas that discrimination is primarily responsible for disparities, that America is built on stolen land, and that there are many genders.

This study is significant because, over the past two years, debates about education policy have occupied an increasingly prominent place in political discourse. In particular, ideas on the proper way to instruct on subjects like race and gender have been hotly disputed. Backlash over perceived indoctrination into extreme theories of race and gender — as well as the exclusion of parents in the educational process — have decided major elections in some states.

However, up to this point, there has been a glaring issue with these debates: they have been largely based on anecdotes. The findings of the Manhattan Institute’s study are important because they represent the first time we have been able to put some real numbers to phenomena that many have only observed anecdotally.

Thus, we should examine the findings in more detail to find out how we ought to move forward.

A Cause For Concern

Ever since journalists such as Christopher Rufo and Bari Weiss began highlighting examples of “institutional capture” of the education system by politically-driven actors, skeptics have often claimed that CSJ concepts are not being taught in schools. This assertion has been promoted by the leaders of teacher unions, cable news hosts, and politicians.

The issue is, and this study confirms, that their claim is simply not accurate. As noted, 93 percent of respondents affirmed that they had heard at least one CSJ concept “from a teacher or other adult at school.”

If these concepts were being introduced as one perspective among many, then there would be no issue with the fact students have been exposed to them. After all, if one wishes to give students an accurate picture of the competing visions of society, then it would be dishonest to exclude all CSJ concepts.

Another Ohio Train Derailment Claims 20 Norfolk Southern Cargo Cars

A Norfolk Southern cargo train derailed near Springfield on Saturday night, the second loss of the company’s trains in Ohio in a month.

Unlike February’s devastating derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, a company spokesperson assured the Columbus Dispatch no potentially harmful chemicals were involved.

The train, which did not have passengers, derailed at around 5pm near the Clark County Fairgrounds, the Dispatch report detailed.

Shelter in place orders have been issued to nearby residents amongst reports of power outages, the Clark County Emergency Management said.

Springfield is about 46 miles west of the state capital of Columbus, Ohio.

The 20 cars of the 212-car train derailed while traveling south, the Norfolk Southern spokesperson said.

The State Highway Patrol said roads are closed surrounding the derailment site. Officials are urging residents to seek alternative routes.

Shawn Heaton told the Springfield News-Sun he was waiting at the intersection as the train crossed the intersection and captured the start of the derailment on video. He said:

I was right there and I was playing on my phone and then I heard a loud bang. And when I heard the loud bang, I started recording.

When I heard the bang, there was all kinds of debris and metal shoot out from under the cars and that’s when I started recording and you could see them start jumping off the tracks.

The Clark County Emergency Management Agency has asked residents within 1,000 feet of the derailment to shelter in place, but the agency said it has not issued formal evacuation orders.

Portly Hillary Clinton Appears on Stage with Pete Buttigieg at Clinton Global Initiative U Conference

Hillary, is that you?

Hillary Clinton looked almost unrecognizable while in Nashville for a Clinton Global Initiative U conference on Saturday.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joined Hillary on stage to discuss the political climate ahead of the next presidential election.

Clinton and Buttigieg defended the Biden Regime’s lack of urgency following the train derailment and toxic disaster in East Palestine, Ohio.

“There was a federal response in the first few hours,” Buttigieg said.

Buttigieg claimed he has been wrongly criticized by people who “are trying to create problems instead of solving them.”

Hillary Clinton laughed.

“I know a little bit about receiving criticism,” Hillary said.

We sure dodged a bullet.

One of Trump’s greatest accomplishments was keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

“The Greatest Perpetrator of Misinformation During the Pandemic has been the United States Government.” Dr. Marty Makary

Dr. Marty Makary shared the many reasons why it is obvious that COVID came from a lab in Wuhan during a House hearing on Tuesday.

The GOP-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic investigating the COVID-19 pandemic kicked off its first public event Tuesday. Three of the event’s witnesses — doctors Jay Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorf, and Marty Makary were invited to testify at the hearing.

Dr. Marty Makary shared the obvious about the COVID vaccine being released from a lab in Wuhan.

It’s a no-brainer that it came from a lab. I mean at this point it’s impossible to acquire any more information and if you did it would only be affirmative.

Dr. Makary also shared important information on how public health officials lied to the American people. They lied to the American people.

Defying AG, ministers advance bill that would let Netanyahu keep financial gift

High Court has ruled PM must return $270,000 he received from his cousin to cover legal fees; Baharav-Miara warns bill could ‘open door to real governmental corruption’

The government formally decided on Sunday to back a Likud-sponsored bill to ease donations to lawmakers — including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — despite the measure being attacked by the attorney general and watchdogs as an opening for political corruption.

If passed into law after four Knesset votes, the measure would enable Netanyahu to keep $270,000 he received from his now-deceased cousin and former benefactor Nathan Milikowsky. Last year, the High Court of Justice ordered the premier to return the gift to Milkowsky’s estate by February 2023, on the grounds that the funds, meant to cover the prime minister’s legal expenses in his ongoing corruption trial, were an illicit gift.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Sunday told Justice Minister Yariv Levin that her office was opposed to the bill, and that it was “harmful” and “contrary to the purpose of the [existing public servant gifts] law.”

“It has the potential to open a real door to governmental corruption,” Baharav-Miara cautioned, in an opinion submitted to Levin in advance of the Ministerial Committee for Legislation’s Sunday hearing on the bill. The panel, chaired by Levin, determines the government’s stance on various pieces of legislation.

It is the latest in a slew of bills that can be tied to the interests of individual politicians. Shas lawmakers are currently pushing a bill to block the Supreme Court from exercising discretionary review over ministerial appointments, which would return their party leader, Aryeh Deri, to the cabinet.

Judicial Watch: Former NIH Director Francis Collins Emails Reveal British Physicians and Scientists Group Recommended Ivermectin for Preventions and Treatment of COVID-19

Judicial Watch announced today that it received 254 pages of records from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) this included emails of then-Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Francis Collins regarding a British group’s recommendations on the use of Ivermectin to prevent and treat COVID-19.

Judicial Watch obtained the records as the result of an August 2021 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for Collins’ emails filed after the HHS failed to respond to a June 8, 2021, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (No. 1:21-cv-02302)).

In February 2021, a leading British physician and World Council for Health co-founder Dr. Tess Lawrie,who is director and founder of a doctors’ organization called the British Ivermectin Recommendation Development Group (BIRD), emailed 31 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials, including the Director of the Offfice of New Drugs in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Peter Stein; Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Director Peter Marks; and then-Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock; and copying several leading foreign medical figures, with an email titled “URGENT: The BIRD meeting and recommendation on covid-19 prevention and treatment.” She attached a document titled “Draft BIRD Proceedings 25-02-2021 v.1.4.pdf.”

While the document attached to the email is completely redacted, Lawrie’s cover letter states: “BIRD panel conclusions are that Ivermectin should be approved immediately for prevention and treatment of covid-19:”

The British Ivermectin Recommendation Development Panel recommends ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of covid-19 to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with covid-19 infection and to prevent covid-19 infection among those at higher risk. [Emphasis in original]

The BIRD Steering Group has taken heed of the WHO statement on ‘Developing global norms for sharing data and results during public health emergencies’ that states that ‘public disclosure of information of relevance to public health emergencies should not be delayed’, and also notes the ‘very great risks’ that can occur from ‘withholding data and results arising from analyses’. We are, therefore, sharing this evidence-to decision framework within just a few days of the BIRD meeting to avoid delay.

Further, due to the urgency related to the communication and dissemination of this recommendation that is aimed at saving thousands of lives daily, please forgive the limitations of the draft proceedings document attached. Information on the process and methods can be found among the annexes. An Executive Summary is being finalised and will be available on Monday.

Later that day, Woodcock forwards Lawrie’s email and attachment to then-NIH Director Francis Collins, NIAID Director Anthony Fauci, Operation Warp Speed director David Kessler and several other HHS officials, with a comment that is entirely redacted.

Netanyahu: Judicial reform protesters are 'dangerous,' just want chaos

Netanyahu spoke as the country headed into its tenth week of protests against Justice Minster Yariv Levin’s judicial reform legislation.

Judicial overhaul protesters simply want to burn down the house and bring down the government, sending the country into a sixth election cycle, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday.

“The extreme and dangerous group that organizes [the protests] just wants to burn down the house and create chaos in the country,” he said as he addressed the weekly government session in Jerusalem.

Netanyahu spoke as the country headed into its tenth week of protests against Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s legislation to overhaul the judiciary. Proponents argued that it would strengthen Israel’s democracy, while its opponents have warned it would weaken democracy and possibly turn the country into a dictatorship.

Protesters want to “trample on the results of a democratic election in which millions of citizens voted just a few months ago,” Netanyahu said.

“They want to overthrow the government, bringing about a constitutional crisis with the intention that this will lead to sixth elections. That’s their real goal,” he continued. “I think they simply can’t wrap their heads around the simple fact that the voters chose us and not them,” he said.

Netanyahu calls out protester tactics

Netanyahu took issue with the tactics by which some protesters blocked roads, acted violently toward the police and called for IDF soldiers and officers to refuse to serve. He also mentioned the incident last week in which protesters prevented his wife, Sara, from leaving a hair salon in Tel Aviv.

The government and the country’s legal establishment have long opposed road blockages, Netanyahu said. He recalled that former attorney-general Menachem “Meni” Mazuz had stated close to 20 years ago, when activists were upset at the disengagement from Gaza, that those who blocked roads should be sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Netanyahu quoted statements made by Yair Lapid, currently the opposition leader, 20 years ago against road blockages, when he warned that someone would die when their ambulance was stuck in traffic as a result. He also took a swipe at comments by former IDF chiefs of staff.

“When former generals, rejected by the electorate, call for a refusal to obey orders, for a revolt and violence – this is not the preservation of democracy, it is the thwarting of democracy,” Netanyahu said.

He pointed to comments that former IDF chief of staff Dan Halutz made, in which he compared Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler.
